RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Peter Xu 2019-11-29 17:23:43 UTC 
When using realtime-virtual-[host|guest] tuned profile, the grub parameter is not applied correct.  

It should be:

BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,msdos1)/vmlinuz-4.18.0-151.rt13.8.el8.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/rhel-root ro crashkernel=auto resume=/dev/mapper/rhel-swap rd.lvm.lv=rhel/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel/swap mitigations=off console=ttyS0 skew_tick=1 isolcpus=2,3 intel_pstate=disable nosoftlockup nohz=on nohz_full=2,3 rcu_nocbs=2,3

While it is actually:

BOOT_IMAGE=(hd0,msdos1)/vmlinuz-4.18.0-151.rt13.8.el8.x86_64 root=/dev/mapper/rhel-root ro crashkernel=auto resume=/dev/mapper/rhel-swap rd.lvm.lv=rhel/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel/swap mitigations=off console=ttyS0 =1 isolcpus=2,3 intel_pstate=disable nosoftlockup nohz=on nohz_full=2,3 rcu_nocbs=2,3

(NOTE: "skew_tick=1" is cut into "=1")

I feel like it's a grub thing because if we check /etc/grub2/grub.cfg we've got the tuned parameters set correct:

set tuned_params="skew_tick=1 isolcpus=2,3 intel_pstate=disable nosoftlockup nohz=on nohz_full=2,3 rcu_nocbs=2,3"

(please see below for more information)

However I'm still opening this against tuned to verify my understanding is correct.
